Great North Run

The Great North Run finish line is approx two miles from my home and is always attended by the Red Arrows so you can imagine what I was sitting in my back garden watching today

Are you sure those aren't rioters? I'd lock up your aeroplane collection

That's quite a crowd. I bet they were all [characteristically] polite to each as well.

The only time we have that many people get together for an event in America is when we are about to lose an entitlement and everyone comes to protest, while eating hot dogs and french fries off of food trucks.

I don't think we have that many people who could run that far, outside of the military.

I could be wrong but I believe it is the biggest half marathon event in the world....in terms of participants.

Not long now for the great move....two months at best (after decorating and furniture purchases)

So if I go to the UK next year, will the Buna's grand aeroplane museum be open?

I'll be gutted if it's not open well before Christmas
